Use Thomas Lumley's “biglm” package with a “big.matrix”

Description

This is a wrapper to Thomas Lumley's biglm package, allowing it to be used with massive data stored in big.matrix objects.

Usage

bigglm.big.matrix(
  formula,
  data,
  chunksize = NULL,
  ...,
  fc = NULL,
  getNextChunkFunc = NULL
)

biglm.big.matrix(
  formula,
  data,
  chunksize = NULL,
  ...,
  fc = NULL,
  getNextChunkFunc = NULL
)

Arguments

formula

a model formula.

data

a big.matrix.

chunksize

an integer maximum size of chunks of data to process iteratively.

fc

either column indices or names of variables that are factors.

...

options associated with the biglm

getNextChunkFunc

Examples

## Not run: 
library(bigmemory)
x <- matrix(unlist(iris), ncol=5)
colnames(x) <- names(iris)
x <- as.big.matrix(x)
head(x)

silly.biglm <- biglm.big.matrix(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width + Species,
                                data=x, fc="Species")
summary(silly.biglm)

y <- data.frame(x[,])
y$Species <- as.factor(y$Species)
head(y)

silly.lm <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width + Species, data=y)
summary(silly.lm)
